How many balls of Hot Socks uni 50 do I need for a pair of socks?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>For a pair of adult socks (sizes 36-44), you will normally need two 50 g balls, or 100 g in total. This leaves enough yarn even for designs with longer legs or cable details. For children or smaller sizes, one ball may be enough.</p></div>

Is this yarn itchy or soft against the skin?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>It is a soft yarn designed for garments worn directly against the skin. The blend of superwash virgin wool and polyamide helps avoid the itchiness associated with some other wools, and it is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 Class I, the strictest category, intended for babies and young children.</p></div>

Can Hot Socks uni 50 be used for projects other than socks?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>Yes. Although it is mainly intended for socks, it is equally suitable for gloves, lightweight hats, thermal underwear, cuffs or fingerless mitts. Its elasticity and durability make it useful for any garment that needs to withstand friction or frequent washing.</p></div>

How should I care for Hot Socks uni 50 to keep it looking its best?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>It is a washable wool thanks to its superwash treatment: machine wash at 40 °C on a delicate cycle, without fabric softener or tumble drying. Ideally, dry flat and air dry to help prevent distortion. It does not need ironing.</p></div>

Can I combine several Hot Socks uni 50 colours in the same project?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>Yes, this is one of its strengths: as the shades are solid colours, they are easy to combine for colour blocks, stripes or contrasting heels and toes. It is only advisable to buy balls from the same dye lot if you want complete colour consistency between them.</p></div>

Is it a good choice for beginners learning to knit socks?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>Yes. Its even yarn weight, good twist and balanced meterage make it easy to handle, and its superwash treatment makes care simple. The 50 g format also allows you to try it without a large initial investment before moving on to bigger projects.</p></div></div>
